E-cigarettes are not an effective way to quit smoking

Suzie Bowers would love to contribute something about e-cigarettes:
by Suzie Bowers

“E-cigarettes are not an effective way to quit smoking because although they are safer than actual tobacco cigarettes…they continue to reinforce the smoking habit.

One of the hugest myths and misconceptions about smoking is that it is an addiction. We have been told that nicotine is as powerful an addiction as heroin. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nicotine is a toxic poison, but it is not addictive. The largest part of quitting smoking is the habit.

Fear of Intimacy

by Suzanne Kellner-Zinck

Why Would One Be Fearful of Intimacy?

Over the past eleven years that I have been in practice, I have found that there are a few
different ways that clients show themselves being fearful of intimacy. I am not speaking
of the guy who is afraid to commit to being married. I am also not speaking of a woman
who is unwilling to be bedded down by any man who asks. I also am not speaking of
people who would prefer not to be touched by others. What I am speaking of are those
people who are truly unable to allow another human into their lives on an intimate basis,
personal basis by being transparent and real. Instead, these people put up all sorts of
walls of defense feeling safer without the emotional closeness.

“The Art of Mindful Eating”

by James Hazlerig

Most people, especially those among us who are overweight, love the taste of food—and

yet how often do we bolt down our food, barely tasting it?

One effective strategy for weight control is to actually take time to enjoy our food. After
all, it’s easy to overeat if you just shovel food down your throat. However, if you take
your time to truly enjoy food, you’ll be satisfied with much less.

Does it really replace traditional smoking with a “safer” alternative?

Wonder where they grow the “Smokeless” tobacco? (Pun intended)

BLU e-cigarettes proudly state on their website:

AMERICAN MADE SMOKE JUICE~ “Smoke Juice? Do they squeeze it out of vine-ripened cigarettes?

It’s the same with cigarettes and e-cigarettes

by Elise Fee

 

When using hypnotherapy to overcome an addiction, there are times when it’s helpful to have a short-term substitution for habitual behaviors (for ex. the hand-to-mouth motion of smoking or the oral fixation that smoking provided); however, these are only for use during the transition phase.

The principle of hypnotherapy

by Mark Barrus - Director of Healthy Life Centers LLCMark BarrusPosted on Posted in hypnotherapy

The therapist induces a deep hypnosis, where the conscious mind steps aside, giving control to the subconscious mind, which has tremendous powers. Under hypnosis our sensory faculties become more alert, the hearing, understanding and creative powers becoming keener and more acute. The healing is actually done by the person himself herself, the therapist only helping in the process by appropriate verbal suggestions.

Should’s and Should not’s

by Mark Barrus - Director of Healthy Life Centers LLCMark BarrusPosted on Posted in Hypnosis

When we simply choose a goal and rush headlong into a list of should’s and
should not’s, and think that we are going to change our behaviors and values
based on the advice of others, most of us are destined for failure, or at best on
temporary attainment of the goal, only to revert to old habits and slip back into
smoking, overeating, not exercising, a lack of effective athletic techniques, and
frustrated by our failure to reach a rewarding career and relationship goals.
